Mikoton Cookie and Web Analytics Policy
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website may store in the user’s browser. In addition to cookies, the website and connected services may use localStorage, sessionStorage and similar technologies to store technical identifiers and user preferences.
2. Categories of cookies used
The Mikoton website may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies.
2.1. Necessary cookies
These cookies are required for correct website operation, technical settings and basic functionality. They are not used for marketing or behavior analytics.
Necessary cookies may be used without separate consent if they are genuinely required for the website to work.
2.2. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help understand how users find the website, which pages they visit and how they interact with the interface. This data is used to improve the website structure, content and usability.
Analytics cookies are enabled only after the user has given consent.
3. Use of Yandex Metrica
The website uses Yandex Metrica, a web analytics service provided by Yandex LLC.
Yandex Metrica may collect anonymized information about website traffic, traffic sources and user behavior on website pages. To identify visitors, Metrica may use anonymous browser identifiers, cookies, localStorage and sessionStorage.
Yandex Metrica may process:
- IP address;
- browser, device and operating system information;
- visit date and time;
- visited pages;
- traffic source;
- user actions on the website: page views, clicks, scrolling and interaction with interface elements;
- technical browser and visit identifiers.
4. When Yandex Metrica is enabled
Yandex Metrica and analytics cookies must be loaded only after the user has consented to analytics through the cookie banner.
If the user selects “Necessary only” or refuses analytics, the Yandex Metrica code must not be loaded and analytics cookies must not be set by the website.
5. How to change the choice
The user may change the cookie choice:
- through the “Cookie settings” button or link on the website;
- through browser settings;
- by clearing cookies, localStorage and sessionStorage in the browser.
After browser data is cleared, the website may show the cookie banner again.
6. Consent storage period
The user’s cookie choice may be stored in browser localStorage to avoid showing the banner on every visit.
The recommended validity period is 12 months. After that, the website may ask for consent again.
